#mercatotweetup

Every month, Twitter people gather to meet, eat and have some fun. This month, the tweet up is at Mercato Centrale at the Bonifacio Global City. This is only my second tweet up, first was at #ramentweetup at Ramen Bar in Eastwood. Jeff and I have been here once with his sister after we ran at the Condura Run last February.

Here are a few pictures I took.

I asked Jeff if we can try the Ilocos Bagnet. We are both cutting on our meat consumption, especially pork and beef. But hey, Bagnet is one of the bestsellers here at Mercato so it's really a must try. The guy in this picture cut the pork into strips and put it inside the oven.

Phily's Cheesesteak Diner

A few days ago, I told Jeff I haven't tried Philly Cheesesteak. Hey, don't judge me. I like beef, I like cheese, but for some reason, I haven't really tried this one. He said we'll try it soon in an American restaurant. Too giddy, I googled a place where we can eat. And I found this place: Phily's Cheesesteak Diner in Home Depot along J.Vargas St. in Ortigas. Turns out that the diner also has a branch in the Ateneo cafeteria.

Anyway, we were supposed to go to Enchanted Kingdom today but we just decided to eat somewhere and maybe watch a movie later. We went at Phily's at around 4PM. The prices were unbelievably cheap! Okay, let's call it affordable. Haha! Here are a few pictures and prices. I apologize for the pictures. I didn't have my DSLR with me so I just used my Blackberry.

Adarna Restaurant and my Engagement

Jeff picked me up early afternoon today. We had to get rid/sell my Nokia E5, get my BlackBerry at his house (because he forgot it at home but we ended up staying longer because his car was broken), and finally have dinner at Adarna Restaurant.

Adarna Restaurant is along Kalayaan Avenue in Quezon City. It is owned by Tita Beth Angsioco. Yes, THE Elizabeth Angsioco. We met her through Twitter and Jeff's radio show friends, Hashtag. Anyway, I've been to Adarna once with Jeff's friends. Yep, without him. He was in Cabanatuan that time to conduct training. Here are a few pictures I took.

View from the inside. Lovin' the whole old-ish vibe inside the place.

Jeff's McDo Kiddie Party

I threw a surprise party for Jeff at McDonald's and invited all his friends. Yup, the Girlfriend of the Year award goes to me. LOLS. This is sort of food related, but not really. I just want to share. ;)

Online invitation.

Jeff's Birthday Gifts

So for Jeff's birthday, I prepared five gifts for him. So much work, I know. Haha.

Gift # 1 is a supporter. Yep, that underwear that you wear when you play sports or whatnot.

Jeff's Birthday Dinner @ Recipe's Greenbelt

This isn't my first dinner with his family. My first was Jeff officially introduced me to his family four months ago. But this the first time I get to celebrate his birthday. And it's going to be big. ;)

Anyway, we went out today and watched a movie. Then we met his parents and his dad bought him his dream shoes, a pair of Jordans! Yay! We later had dinner at Recipe's Greenbelt. I remember the first time he called me was when I was headed to that same restaurant because I was to meet my friends for our barkada anniversary.
